SOUTHAMPTON - Eyes on Leverkusen's POHJANPALO

Previously tracked by FC Seville, Finnish international striker Joel Pohjanpalo (22), according to latest rumours coming from UK sources, has been targeted by Southampton management. Saints have already had former HJK Helsinki player scouted, and might even decide to try signing him in January already. Pohjanpalo is currently on a deal with Bayer Leverkusen until June 2018, and might leave on an about 8.5 million euros offer.

Playing for Cagliari since last season, and having gone through a very long-term injury, Moldovan international midfielder Artur Ionita (27), according to Italian paper Corriere dello Sport, is about to have his contract with Serie A side officially extended until June 2021. Form
